Hi Willie

My charge light came on and the battery did not charge.

The problem was one of the wires on the rectifiyer. This is a silver square box with a a plug with wires from the bottom.
Unplug this plug and make sure that each of the wires is connected properly.

I have also added a thick earth wire from rectifiyer base to battery negative.

These wires could have rattled out with transportation.

I hope you get it sorted out.
